Blogdown

The goal of the blogdown package is to provide a powerful and customizable website output format for R Markdown. Use dynamic R Markdown documents to build webpages featuring:

R code (or other programming languages that knitr supports),

automatically rendered output such as graphics, tables, analysis results, and HTML widgets, and

technical writing elements such as citations, footnotes, and LaTeX math, enabled by the bookdown package.

By default, blogdown uses Hugo, a popular open-source static website generator, which provides a fast and flexible way to build your site content to be shared online. Other website generators like Jekyll and Hexo are also supported.

A useful feature of blogdown sites, compared to other R Markdown-based websites, is that you may organize your website content (including R Markdown files) within subdirectories. This makes blogdown a good solution not just for blogging or sites about R — it can also be used to create general-purpose websites to communicate about data science, statistics, data visualization, programming, or education.
